About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Single-center, Double-blinded, Randomized, Split-face Study Evaluating 1064nm Versus 755nm Picosecond Lasers With Diffractive Lens Array for Improvement of Skin Quality

To assess the efficacy of a 1064nm picosecond laser (PicoWay; Candela; Marlborough, MA) with diffractive lens array and a picosecond 755nm laser (PicoSure®; Cynosure®; Westford, MA) with diffractive lens array in subjects for the improvement of facial skin quality. Secondary objectives of this clinical trial are to assess whether the 1064nm or 755nm picosecond laser is more efficacious in improving facial skin quality, safety of the procedure, comfortability of the procedure, and subject satisfaction.

Read the detailed description

subject will be randomized to have either their right facial half or left facial half treated with the 1064nm picosecond laser with diffractive lens array. The contralateral facial half not randomized will be treated with the 755nm picosecond laser with diffractive lens array. Subjects will receive three (3) treatments, four (4) weeks ± 7 days apart to each facial half.

For additional comfort, cold air cooling (Zimmer MedizinSystems, Irvine, CA) set on level 5 will be used throughout the treatment. After each treatment, subjects will be provided with CeraVe gentle facial cleanser (CeraVe; New York, NY) and CeraVe lotion (CeraVe; New York, NY) to be used twice daily for two weeks. Additionally, a mineral CeraVe sunscreen (CeraVe; New York, NY) will also be provided to subjects to be used every morning with reapplication every two (2) hours if going outside for the entirety of the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 1064NM pico Laser and 755NM pico Laser in people with Skin Quality, run by Goldman, Butterwick, Fitzpatrick and Groff.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 14 inclusion and 23 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Andrea Pacheco (8586571004, apacheco@clderm.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Scientific Assessment Scale of Skin Quality (SASSQ) to assess change (time frame: Screening, Baseline, Day 28, Day 56, Day 140). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Oct 2022.
